Dean: So, how are you liking Moby Dick?Rory: Oh, it's really good.Dean: Yeah?Rory: Yeah, it's my first Melville.Dean: Cool.Rory: I mean, I know it's kind of clich to pick Moby Dick as your first Melville but hey, how did you know I was reading Moby Dick?Dean: Uh, well, I've been watching you.Rory: Watching me?Dean: I mean, not in a creepy, like, "I'm watching you" sort of way. I just - I've noticed you.Rory: Me?Dean: Yeah.Rory: When?Dean: Every day. After school you come out and you sit under that tree there and you read. Last week it was Madame Bovary. This week it's Moby Dick.Rory: But why would youDean: Because you're nice to look at, and because you've got unbelievable concentration.Rory: What?Dean: Last Friday these two guys were tossing around a ball and one guy nailed the other right in the face. I mean, it was a mess, blood everywhere, the nurse came out, the place was in chaos, his girlfriend was all freaking out, and you just sat there and read. I mean, you never even looked up. I thought, "I have never seen anyone read so intensely before in my entire life. I have to meet that girl."Rory: Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered.Dean: Maybe, but I doubt it.Rory: So did I ask you if you like cake?Dean: Yeah, ya did.Rory: Oh, because they have really good cake back there. (Dean laughs)

Rory: God! You're like Ruth Gordon just standing there with the tannis root. Make a noise.Dean: Rosemary's Baby.Rory: Yeah.Dean: Well, that's a great movie. You've got good taste. Are you moving?Rory: No, just my books are.
